When I moved to Seattle, I got 3 or 4 umbrellas as going away gifts. In the past 4 years I've used them about once. Carrying an umbrella will immediately identify you as a tourist. It rarely rains hard in Seattle. Unless you have some highly sprayed hairdo, you can sometimes just ignore the mist. All you really need, even for when it's a little heavier than mist, is an all-weather/rainproof jacket with a hood. Leave a Comment

As I state in all my Northwest pages, if travelling during anytime other than the summer, rain gear is essential. Leave a Comment

Donīt forget your rain coat. The Northwestern coast including Seattle has a pretty wet climate. Leave a Comment

No one from Seattle would ever be caught dead with an umbrella and the truth is you probably won't need one anyway. It rarely pours in Seattle and normally just tends to drizzle. Bring a raincoat with a hood and you will be fine. Leave a Comment

One of the first things that comes to mind when one hears Seattle is the rain. That reputation is well deserved. On average, Seattle only gets 50 days of clear sunny days in a whole year. That doesn't necessarily mean that it rains for the rest of the year, it just means that it can be overcast and windy as well. Still, you should always be prepared for it to rain, which can happen at any time, usually when it's most inconvenient I've noticed. So bring clothes that will keep the rain off you like light rain jackets, hats, etc. Leave a Comment

If you have a raincoat, warm sweaters, pants, good heavy shoes that water won't soak through and lighter clothing to wear under neath it all you are set.
You can bring an umbrella but to be quite honest, many natives don't even carry one anymore because it's just always drizzly and you deal with it. Leave a Comment

by wanderingbtrfly No matter what month of the year you are coming in, always bring a jacket. You never know when it's going to start raining in this town, or when the weather will turn chilly. If it is late July or August, you will probably only need a light jacket- but don't quote me on that! Leave a Comment
